What we've got here
is failure to communicate
Some men you just can't reach
So you get
what we had here last week
which is the way he wants it
Well he gets it
N' I don't like it any more
than you men
Look at your
young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they've always
done before
Look at the hate
we're breeding
Look at the fear
we're feeding
Look at the lives
we're leading
The way we've always
done before
My hands are tied
The billions shift
from side to side
And the wars go on
with brainwashed pride
For the love of God
and our human rights
And all these
things are swept aside
By bloody hands
time can't deny
And are washed away
by your genocide
And history hides the lies
of our civil wars
D'you wear a black armband
When they shot the man
Who said
Peace could last forever
And in my first memories
They shot Kennedy
I went numb
when I learned to see
So I never fell for Vietnam
We got the wall
of D.C. to remind us all
That you can't trust freedom
When it's not in your hands
When everybody's fightin'
For their promised land
And
I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while
it buries the poor
Your power hungry
sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war
Look at the shoes your filling
Look at the blood
we're spilling
Look at the world
we're killing
The way
we've always done before
Look in the doubt
we've wallowed
Look at the leaders
we've followed
Look at the lies
we've swallowed
And I don't want
to hear no more
My hands are tied
For all I've seen
has changed my mind
But still the wars go on
as the years go by
With no love of God
or human rights
'Cause all these dreams
are swept aside
By bloody hands
of the hypnotized
Who carry the cross
of homicide
And history bears
the scars of our civil wars
We practice selective
annihilation of mayors
And government officials
For example to create a vacuum
Then we fill that vacuum
As popular war advances
Peace is closer
I don't need your civil war
It feeds the rich while
it buries the poor
Your power hungry
sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
And I don't need
your civil war
I don't need your civil war
I don't need your civil war
Your power hungry
sellin' soldiers
In a human grocery store
Ain't that fresh
I don't need your civil war
I don't need one more war
I don't need one more war
Whaz so civil 'bout war anyway
